Hello,

Question:

Keisha solved the following equation:

4x − 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)

Which step has an incorrect justification? (Make sure to type only the number of the step into the blank: 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5)

Correct Solution:

x − 2x + 8 = 6(x + 4)

4x + −2x + 8 = (6) (x) + (6) (4) (Distribute)

4x + −2x + 8 = 6x + 24

(4x + −2x) + (8) = 6x + 24 (Combine Like Terms)

2x + 8 = 6x + 24

2x + 8 = 6x + 24

Subtract 6x from both sides.

2x + 8 − 6x = 6x + 24 − 6x

−4x + 8 = 24

Subtract 8 from both sides.

−4x + 8 − 8 = 24 − 8

−4x = 16

-4 x -4 = 16

x = -4

Answer:

Where keisha went wrong was forgeting to subtract 6x to both sides.

Incorrrect step is #3

The solution to the equation is correct.

on the line - 4x + 8 = 24 to the next line

- 4x = 16

4 should be Subtraction property of equality and not addition property of equality

Writing equations of lines
Valentin [98]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of straight line is y=mx+c

choose any two points on straight line

for me I choose:(-3,11) and (3,-1)

use these two points to find gradient,m.

m= (-1-11)/(3-(-3))

m= -2

now, y=-2x+c

choose any point on the straight line

I choose point (3,-1)

sub the point into the equation to find c

-1=-2(3)+c

c=5

equation: y=-2x+5

a coin is flipped and a six-sided die, numbered 1 to 6, is rolled. find the probability of flipping tails and rolling a number l
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a 1 out of 2 chance that you will roll tails, so the probability is 1/2.

A number less than three is a 2 and 1, so the probability is 2/6.

Add 1/2 + 2/6. (Change 1/2 to 3/6 so you can add.)

3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

<em>I hope this is correct and helps you! </em>
